Halloween Cram!

So if you are still busy and you don't have a halloween costume, you can try superfast Candy Fairy costume. Not only is it fast, but it is made of materials almost anyone can find at home!
You will need:
  • cardboard
  • a small piece of wire
  • glue (preferably hot glue)
  • Paint
  • Cellophane/tissue paper/wrapping paper/
  • Candy wrappers, ribbons anything shiny
Here are the steps:

  1.  Make a wire loop (14-16 gauge)
  • Cut circles out of cardboard (1 inch, 2 inch, 3 inch diameter)
  • Paint or cover the circles in cellophane/tissue/wrapping paper
  • glue a big circle on to the sides of the wire loop
  • attach the other circles to the big circle
  • add ribbons, sparkles, or leave as is
  • Give yourself a round of applause!
To add to the costume, grab a bag of candy, eat it and leave all the wrappers in the bag.... then have a friend dress up as the tooth fairy!

DIY Feather Wings

I have been fortunate enough to come by several more fairy wing techniques that are different from the stocking wings I've shown before!


 Not only are these wings great for pink and fluffy angels, but I can also imagine that some black or red feathers could transform  any costume into a true fallen angel. Instructions are found here!

Fairy Costumes-Stockings and Wire

Edit | Settings | Delete
I know some of you like to buy your costumes, while others like to make them. Here are some ideas for great fairy costumes. Having done a lot of research and projects in the field, I can sincerely recommend the following instructions:

Simple Black- From Threadbanger


Best I've Seen by Emilie Autumn


These are more simple, but are also very sturdy and pretty.Fancy Fairy The strap and wing attachment is very clever and I prefer this one because you can tie it under your costume for that "invisible" look. Plus it doesn't chafe. 
Have fun with the costumes. I'll be back with some more fun ideas for Renaissance and Halloween costumes later. Thanks.
